\par }\pard\plain \nowidctlpar\widctlpar\adjustright \fs20\lang1036\cgrid {\lang1033 Grafx2 is made for drawing with a system called indexed colors. This means that your image defines a palette of colors, 256 at most, and when you draw with \'93red\'94, or 
\'93black\'94, in fact the program remember which color number you used. The big difference with a program like MS Paint or Gimp is that you can later alter your image\rquote 
s palette, and this will affect all the places where you used the modified colors.
\par A typical file format for indexed colors is GIF.
\par 
\par }{\i\lang1033 See the chapter \lquote Palette manipulation\rquote  for useful palette actions.
\par Grafx2 can import 24bit images fr
om a few file formats such as Jpeg, creating a custom palette by selecting 256 colors using a mathematical method (Median cut in the RGB color space) Be aware that the result can never be good with photographic images and the like, it\rquote 
s mostly useful to convert screenshots of computer applications.
\par Grafx2 saves only indexed colors formats: for example it uses the PNG variant which keeps the palette.

Usually, clicking on the image with the left mouse button paints with the foreground color (FG), and clicking with the right mouse button paints with the background colors (BG). Some other tools will use left click for confirm and right to cancel/stop. In
 any case, it\rquote s rare to get the same effect from left-clicking and right-clicking, and the right mouse button is as useful as the left one.
\par The current FG and BG are shown next to the palette, and clicking on the palette itself with the left and right mouse button will set the FG and BG colors, respectively.
\par Setting two useful colors can save you a lot of time when drawing, as you won\rquote t need to change the active color so often.
\par 
\par }{\i\lang1033 If you have a third mouse button, it\rquote s not used for drawing. You can assign a shortcut to the button and to wheel movements to perform punctual actions, for example to activate the color picker or the magnifier.

\par You can also use one of the built-in monochrome shapes, like circles, squares, horizontal lines etc. They are called monochrome because they automatically use your foreground and background colors when drawing.
\par To select a monochrome brush, open the Paintbrush window and click the button with the shape you want to use. Note that the single pixel is proposed, top left.
\par 
\par The last type is the Color Brush, often called simply \'93brush\'94. It\rquote s a group of colored pixels that you get by grabbing with the rectangular grab tool, or the freeh
and grab. You can use a color brush to draw a texture, or displace part of a picture for example. 
\par Note that the current Background color acts as transparent for your brush: pixels of this color will not be drawn. Drawing with the right mouse button will paste the background color only, in the shape of your brush.
\par 
\par In the toolbar, the paintbrush icon shows which brush you\rquote re currently using. A special symbol indicates when you\rquote re using a color brush.
\par 
\par }{\i\lang1033 The monochrome brushes are resizable, you can use shortcuts xxx and xxx to increase and decrease your current brush\rquote s size. This allows you to pick sizes that are not available in the Paintbrush screen.
\par A very useful shortcut sets the paintbrush to single-pixel: DEL. (actually it\rquote s a circle of size 1)
\par Many actions can be performed on the color brush, see the Brush FX menu.
\par You can use your color brush in monochrome mode by right-clicking the Paintbrush icon. It does not alter the brush contents, only the way it\rquote s displayed and drawn.
\par Right-clicking the \lquote pick brush\rquote  icon recovers the last color brush you had. This is useful after using a built-in monochrome brush, or after turning your brush monochrome.

full screen mode than in a window. The whole display area of Grafx2 gets zoomed in: mouse cursor, menus, fonts. Since Grafx2 was designed in the era of MCGA, the minimum resolution for GUI windows is 320x200, so if you're running in 1024x768 you can scale
 to x3, You need at least 1280x800 to scale x4.
